Approved Publisher List

PLEASE NOTE: Mystery Writers of America is currently re-evaluating its list of publishers. As more publishers are reviewed and approved, they will be added. Approved publishers meet MWA’s professional standards of good business practice and fair treatment of authors. The books published by the publishers on this list currently qualify for submission for Edgar Award consideration and applications for Active Status membership. However, this list should not be considered a blanket endorsement or recommendation of any particular publisher. You should never sign any contract with a publisher without the advice of an agent or a lawyer.

The list is under constant review and subject to change. To be sure of the current status of a publisher, please contact the National Office.

Please note that only the publisher may request to be vetted.

You should also carefully read this page of the website to familiarize yourself with the requirements for Active Status membership.
